  • "Do Business. Do Life." is a weekly podcast dedicated to helping the independent financial advisor create unlimited growth and freedom in their business AND life.

    Having been a coach for the top 1% of independent financial advisors for 15+ years, Brad Johnson has seen far too many leaders in financial services sacrifice their marriages, health, relationships, and everything else that matters to walk across an industry stage recognizing their "success." That model is broken, and Brad's on a mission to fix it.

    Join Brad as he distills the best advice from top thought leaders and applies it to the world of independent financial advising. Get actionable tips/tactics on sales, marketing, entrepreneurship, business growth, lead generation, hiring, training, team building, company culture, core values, work/life integration, family, relationships, and more!

    "Do Business. Do Life." is way more than just another podcast for financial advisors. It's an experience. It's a community. And more than anything, it's a movement. #DBDL

    103: Jon Acuff - How to Set and Hit Bigger Goals (The High-Performer’s Mindset)
    Feb 12 2025
    What if the difference between being good and being truly great was simply a mindset shift?Too many entrepreneurs and business leaders play it safe—setting goals that feel achievable instead of ones that push their limits. They stay “relatable” instead of aiming to be remarkable. But according to today's guest, Jon Acuff, real breakthroughs happen when you set goals that challenge you.Jon Acuff is an INC Top 100 Leadership Speaker and the New York Times bestselling author of ten books, including his most recent, All It Takes Is A Goal.In this episode, we break down why so many people settle for less than they’re capable of—and how to break free from it. Jon shares how standing out beats blending in, how AI can amplify (not replace) your work, and why setting bigger, more challenging goals is the key to unlocking remarkable success. We also dive into the psychology of goal setting—why most people fail, how to tap into the right kind of motivation, and why belief follows action (not the other way around).3 of the biggest insights from Jon Acuff …#1.) Remarkability vs. Relatability—Why Playing it Safe is a MistakeMost people try to blend in, but standing out is where the real opportunity lies. Jon explains why financial advisors and business owners should focus on being remarkable rather than just relatable—because the people who get remembered are the ones who dare to be different.#2.) The Future of Content: How AI is Changing the GameAI isn’t replacing creators—it’s amplifying their work. Jon shares how he’s leveraging AI to identify viral moments, repurpose content, and create more impact with less effort. The key? Using AI as a tool, not a crutch.#3.) Motivation vs. Belief—The Key to Achieving Big GoalsIs it motivation or belief that helps you hit your biggest goals? Jon breaks down the two types of motivation—fear-based and reward-based—and why taking action, even before you fully believe in yourself, is what truly leads to success.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/103FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get a free copy of Jon's book, "All It Takes Is a Goal: The 3-Step Plan to Ditch Regret and Tap Into Your Massive Potential" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "103" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

    101: Michael Hyatt, Megan Hyatt-Miller, & Brad Johnson - Scaling a $1B+ Financial Services Firm in Less Than 4 Years (Double Win Podcast)
    Jan 29 2025
    If your business is taking over your life, it’s time to step back and rethink the playbook. Success shouldn’t come at the cost of everything else. The good news is, it doesn’t have to—and I’m the living proof. In this episode, the tables are turned as I take the guest seat on Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt-Miller’s podcast, The Double Win. We dive into my journey of building Triad Partners—the company I co-founded to help independent financial advisors grow their businesses without losing sight of what really matters.We cover everything from transitioning from a sales-driven mindset to a CEO role, to the importance of therapy for high-achieving entrepreneurs, to why business culture will make or break your success. I hope this conversation gives you practical insights and fresh perspectives to help you break free from the hustle trap.3 of the biggest insights from Brad Johnson & Michael Hyatt …#1.) Breaking Free from the Hustle Hamster WheelMany financial advisors build a business only to find themselves working more hours than ever. We talk about the common cycle of “market, sell, repeat” and how to escape it by structuring your business to scale beyond you.#2.) The Mindset Shift from Salesperson to CEOScaling a business isn’t just about bringing in more clients—it’s about shifting from a doer to a leader. I share the biggest leadership lessons I’ve learned while growing Triad from the ground up and building a 100-person team in just four years.#3.) Culture Is EverythingHiring the best talent is important, but if they’re not a culture fit, they’ll do more harm than good. We break down how Triad built a movement around Do Business, Do Life and why culture is the ultimate competitive advantage.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/101FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?
